"I think the FA Cup is a very special competition to play in," he told MUTV. "There is a lot of history and many difficult games against sides like this one and I think we did well from the beginning and that was key.

"We didn't let them come on to us and create chances from the start and that was good. There were a few tactical things we worked on, we knew they would play five at the back, but the most important thing in these types of games is the attitude and if you are ready for the battle, you mostly win and we did that.

"We scored two goals in the first half and we managed the second half well. So it was a good job.

"I think we played quicker, we played more forward, and we had more chances to score. But the most important thing is a clean sheet and we now need to build up for the next game."
